I know I said in a previous update that Id be holding off on adding the final 1.0 character until the game hit 1.0, but in the interest of getting feedback before the game officially launches here ya go! Im still working very hard to get the game in shape for console certification, still squashing bugs and balance issues while trying to slip in a new feature or two here or there. As of next update, all of the games text will be finalized for 1.0, and Ill be send it off to get localized into a bunch of different languages. So, thats the topic of this weeks Fortnight Discussion: What text in the game would you like to see changed?
